Antique Art Deco Chinese Hand Knotted Round Pile Red Rug, Country of Origin: China, Circa Date: 1930s. This exceptional circular piece captures the minimalist elegance characteristic of the period, making it a prime example of art Deco rugs. The design relies on a striking contrast between the expansive, saturated field and the delicate floral garland that frames the center of this round rug. The field is dominated by a rich, velvety hue, best categorized among the deeper red color rugs. This intense coloration provides a dramatic backdrop for the round composition, allowing the stylized botanical elements to float gracefully across the surface. The technique and palette reflect the unique aesthetic developed by master weavers in the region, distinguishing it from other contemporary Chinese rugs. A lush, continuous wreath of stylized blossoms and foliage encircles the central space.
